A review by tanya_the_spack
Seven Years in Tibet by Heinrich Harrer

4.0

A very enjoyable read. I saw the movie a long time ago and barely remember it, but I think the movie only covers a tiny portion of the book and alters that tiny part quite a bit. So, from that misty recollection, I would say the book is much better. I read the book already knowing a fair amount about the politics involving Tibet and China, and this gave a nice backdrop of culture to that through the nonfiction tale of simply a grand adventure.
